I love being a sitter because working with kids brings me so much joy. I’ve spent the last four years as a paraprofessional in schools, supporting children from pre-K through middle school. Along the way, I’ve developed patience, creativity, and strong communication skills while working closely with kids, parents, and teachers.

Hi, my name is Kiara but I go by Kiwi! I'm a native New Yorker from Brooklyn and I have over 4 years of childcare experience. I worked at a daycare in Queens (Future Sunshine Daycare) part-time, and went full-time after about 6 months as the owner is also a foster mother and needed help with her 3 foster children. I started living-in 4 days a week for about a year while still working for the daycare, thus caring for 8 kids (2 infants aged 4-6 months, 1 toddler aged 3 and 5 older children aged 6-9) along with 2 other alternating workers. I worked there for 2 years alternating between part-time and full-time after the foster children moved on. This passing summer I worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp in Plymouth, Vermont. I worked there throughout the whole summer as a camp counselor monitoring kids ages 4-11. Since then I've been babysitting for different families and providing occasional coverage for workers at the daycare. I am CPR and AED certified for both adults and children, my red cross certification ID is 10VNC1Q.

Hello, I'm Kayla! With over 15 years of experience as a professional childcare provider, I take pride in my role as a loving and dedicated Auntie-like caregiver. My educational background includes a BA in Family & Consumer Studies from CUNY Queens College, which some might call Home Economics, but it has been invaluable in my caregiving journey. Being born and raised in Queens, NY, particularly in the Forest Hills neighborhood, has allowed me to develop strong connections with families and children. I firmly believe in adapting to the unique needs of each family and child, which has been crucial in forming and maintaining strong relationships. My attentiveness to their well-being is second to none, and I actively encourage them to be kind to themselves and others. Caring for every member of the family unit comes naturally to me, and I also have experience working with ASD children and other special needs. During my care, I prioritize the physiological well-being, safety, and security of the children. Nutrition is essential, and I ensure that they receive nutritious meals tailored to their dietary requirements. Safety is paramount, and I hold certifications in Basic Life Support training in case of emergencies. My ultimate goals while providing care are to foster love and a sense of belonging in the family, as well as promoting self-esteem in the children. For fun activities, I enjoy narrating books and engaging them in readings, participating in video games (even if not my first choice) to empower them to take the lead, and exploring arts and crafts. Trips to the park with friends and playing sports are also some of the enjoyable moments we share together. Regarding homework, I understand that it's not always a favorite task, but if parents want my support in enforcing a homework schedule, I'm more than willing to assist. At home, I encourage them to play their favorite tunes and enjoy music as a form of entertainment because, after all, music is awesome! In addition to my childcare expertise, I'm currently transitioning my career toward a nursing degree. This means I have some flexibility in my schedule, allowing me to work occasional hours during the day, evenings, and weekends. I'm excited about the opportunity to serve your family and create a safe and nurturing environment for your children. Wishing you a Happy New Year 2026, the year of the Horse, is sure to bring joy and happiness. Take care and be well!
